How it's used
Hong Kong musicians often use the English loanword directly, but 原聲結他 is the standard term for distinguishing acoustic instruments from electric ones. It is common to see this term used in music shops or when discussing equipment specifications. While some might just say 結他, adding 原聲 clarifies that it is not plugged into an amplifier.
